Yes, that's the module name. But using mkinitrd as described doesn't help.

I've tried doing a yum update to latest from rescue mode and then  
running mkinitrd again; that didn't seem to help, either.

This was working with Fedora 9. I did a yum upgrade to Fedora 10 and  
it was still working at that point. But a few things were a bit wonky;  
so I figured I'd do a fresh install from DVD. Bad idea, I guess. :-/

Any other suggestions for how to fix this?
